The bride’s dress leading the way of love

The joy of giving

The designer presents a new collection of wedding dresses every year. Some of these dresses are purchased by the bride, but there are those who lie in the R. Silė studio hanger. A few years ago, the creator noticed that one of the beauties was too long and it was time for her to marry.

« Sometimes new pieces push the dress to the hanging of the hanger, sometimes it doesn’t match the size and we sew a new dimensional dimensions, sometimes the studio just doesn’t turn a dress bride. When I feel that they already have to go to life and loosening place in the hook, I take and give it. Sale, Black Friday shares and similar things.

Thus, the creator decided that he would give more joy by giving the dress the future bride.

« I had the hope that the bride, after receiving the gift, would be more happy than when I bought half -bought. In the social network Facebook bride, I announced that I was giving a dress. In the past, fashion was widespread there for prizes for the division and likes of the record. Such things are unacceptable to me. After all, if a person is curious, he expresses his or her opinion by writing a comment or pressing « likes ». So I came up with nothing to ask, just wrote that the condition is to fall in love with a dress, to wear and marry it, ”says the designer.

Among those who responded to her message were all kinds of fascinating, non -believers, sincere attempts to receive a gift. The dress was then won by the bride Mary.

« She came to the studio, got a dress and she suited her well, » Sile recalls. « It is a hand -painted natural silk dress. It was good in the wedding photos to see a happy bride, get back and feedback. Hydrangea « Mary » was located in the homestead. It grows at the sauna and donates a large number of rings every year in August. Somehow, I responded sentimentally to this and gave another dress I dared to ask the plant in return. This is how the homestead is fulfilled by bride -donated plants. Each of them reminds me of the bride itself and the dress. ”

Plants with stories

When asked what it means to « fall in love with a dress » and how the future owner is chosen, says that the most important thing is that the winners really like the garment. You don’t want the dress to be desired just because of free.

Getting married is like going out of love. From that moment on, people always go with two.

« This dress must not be a backup option when another is being sought. Just the bride must sincerely want to wear it during her celebration. I ask for the girls’ noun girls. The size of the dress remains unknown. Send real dimensions in the latter dress (in early April – auto -commentary), I made a list of the most appropriate dimensions.

Faying goodbye to the dress, the creator does not always learn how her fate was. « The stories of some girls are silent, » Sile adds. However, he is pleased that there are more of those who remind themselves in one way or another.

« Some brides send photos, others signature. Some sometimes on the post with a wedding photo mark my profile on social networks. By the way, I recently received a message that even a few years later, the girl still didn’t see a dress that she would have wanted to wear at her celebration than the gifts she had, » she says.

True, while the bride plays the lead role in this story, according to R. Silė, once the dress went to a girl who was not going to the wedding.

« It was Eve. Her pine bonsis adorns my terrace. Eve is an event host. This girl just bribed me inside. She is a very sincere, sensitive, gentle and energetic personality. So far we communicate, write, plan, but life (smiles). Dear Ieva was raised with a grandfather, which was already in the same way as the girl was folding and shaping the pine trees.

In addition to the pine, bride’s « Love Avenue » is a couple of whisk hydrangeas, known as Mary, the barberry « Nijolė » grows in the homestead. The designer adds that the owner of the latter plant is a truly bright and charismatic personality, so she was looking for the brightest plant in her way. At home on the windowsill, Bonsas « Aistė » grows and myrtle.

« This year I got a vaccinated rose for a donated dress. This is a pampering plant. Recently I planted it in the soil and scared – the leaves roll, the rings twisted. I hope it can survive, » Sile hopes. Gabrielle, you want to add that it would probably be best to collect non -spare plants for many years. «

Why was the name of the « Love Alley » chosen? According to the creator, this happened by itself.

“The homestead was already decorated with a number of plants and when I was writing a new record about a gift on social networks, I thought of calling it » Love Alley.  » Although this is not the usual view of the alley, the name sounded to me and now has a more symbolic meaning. Getting married is like going out of love. You have to taste both sweet and bitter things when going. Most importantly, however, people always go with two. So it can be said that I have a small trace of their general start, ”says Mr Sile.

Unplayed tears

The 40 designer has been making wedding dresses for half of her life-nineteen years. It all started with admiring various handmade textile decoration techniques: embroidery, beads, pearls, crystals, what can be done with them. She was also interested in (and, of course, still interested) the complex design clothes: corsets, drapery, large multilayer shapes.

« It is a pity that we live in times when women do not wear out their clothes every day. But the brides are happy to choose such things. Probably that’s why my creative path and have turned to that side. I have established myself in the creation of wedding dresses.

All the brides are different – with their desires, ideas, tastes and experiences. The designer always tries to understand the client, her attitude to wedding and life. After all, making a dress, communication with the bride, her knowledge is a sensitive process. However, it is certainly not the case that every time she sees a new bride, she takes and frustrates.

Mostly girls ask what kind of plant I want. I answer to give a plant that reminds them of themselves.

« It would be strange and probably unnatural when, for example, the bride is businesslike, reacts unstoptally. But it has been that the bride’s measuring dress was crying her with her mother, sister and girlfriend. Then the bride started to cry, and finally,

When asked if you have any dreams and goals related to wedding dresses, R. Silė’s answer is negative. Such things turned her head in her youth. Some of them, of course, succeeded. However, it is currently concentrating only on the only dress that is now being created.

« I make a dress, melt the bride. Then I make another dress for another bride. Just want to enjoy the process, » says the designer. « I like to hear their life stories, like to make dresses.

According to the designer, she has had to touch various colored dresses during the wedding dresses, so there were also unconventional solutions. Even now, the latter dress was not white, but pink. But she wouldn’t want to make a black dress. Mr Sile says he has heard the life stories of the infamous brides wearing black dresses. « I’m not superstitious, but there are a lot of stories, so I probably wouldn’t feel a good bride’s black dress, » she says.

True, R. Sile is not just about wedding dresses for women. Her spectrum of creation covers the entire female wardrobe except for lingerie. And when the study door is closed, the designer tries to find time for painting.

« I graduated from a Master’s degree in Painting, defended my diploma. So I became very little time, I would like to do it much more often. It is not even after these studies that I decided to fall asleep and have a photographer’s specialty.
